Water Pump Replacement
Hey there,
I usually only lurk over here but a customer of mine is finally comming in for his water pump replacement and a bunch of other stuff. I have a few questions about the water pump, I thought I read somewhere in this forum about needing a 36mm and 54mm open end wrenches to remove the fan. Is there a detailed set of instructions with confirmation of those wrench sizes around. I tried searching, could find what I was looking for, and I didnt see a tech folder.
Thanks in advce for the help its greatly appriciated.

These are the instructions that I used Sarge. I used a visegrip style chain wrench and a pipe wrench

I actually found the tools at NAPA. Both the fan clutch wrench and the pulley holding tool. You think I could find a 1 7/8" wrench anywhere...not. So I bit the bullet and bought the tool. Anyway I will use it cause the ambulances I work on all have 7.3's
Guess I am prepared for the future water pumps.

I've asked the owner of the web site TWICE to correct this otherwise excellent article, but they haven't done it (in a year). I guess they don't care or they would fix it or take it down.
Good luck with your pump replacement, it's not a bad job at all.

That's true John I spaced out that part. I was mainly refering to the removal of the fan and shroud. Thanks for bringing that up again. Reps to you

No problem Jim, I just wanted to make sure no one screws up their block.. Every time I see a water pump thread I subscribe, just to make sure. Let me know the next time you're down this way, I'm near the shoreline in North Branford.

Well I got it done and it wasnt bad at all. It went well...all except for the fact that it was 100* yesterday. But I did look up the right specs and even converted to inch pounds so all was well and the customer is happy. Thanks for all the help.
Enjoy the long weekend.
